Welcome to Class 2

Year 1 and Year 2

Teacher: Mrs. McGregor

Teaching Assistants: Miss. Stevens and Mrs. Huntbach

Welcome back, I hope you all had a lovely Easter

Our topic in Summer 1 is all about Queen Elizabeth II and the Royal family. We will be studying the life and reign of our Queen and we will discover how the country has changed in her 66 years on the throne. During our studies we will celebrate three key Royal family events; The Queen's birthday, the wedding of Prince Harry and the birth of William and Kate's third child.

In DT, we will be creating our very own royal crown, making sure it is suitable for a King or Queen. In Music, we will be learning and re-creating the National Anthem. In computing, we will be using the internet to stay safe and complete research.

In Science, we are going to be learning about 'Everyday Materials' including wood, plastic, glass and fabric. We will discover the properties of the materials and group them together. Throughout the topic, we will also be learning all about seasonal change.

In RE, we will study Judaism; looking at the Torah, a Synagogue and Shabbat.

PE this half term will be on a Monday with Miss Abbott and on a Tuesday with Mr. Gibbons. 

Class 2 will bring reading books home each week. Please read with your child each night where possible, as this will help them to become confident readers with a true enjoyment of reading.

Spellings this term will be the word lists in the diaries. The children will learn 5-6 words each week and will be tested on a Wednesday or Thursday. If they spell the words correctly they will be highlighted in the back of the diary in green (Pink for Autumn, Green for Spring and Orange for Summer.). They will then get a dot next to the words they need to learn for the following week.

Don't forget your reading diaries, PE kits and water bottles Class 2.
